HC Deb 18 March 1908 vol 186 cc561-2
SIR IVOR HERBERT () Monmouthshire, S.

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the brigadiers to be appointed to the command of brigades of the Territorial Army in the thirteen counties of Wales will be in receipt of pay; where the headquarters of the several brigades will be established; and what will be the number of officers to be appointed to the staffs of the same brigades, and what will be the amount of their emoluments.

MR. HALDANE

The situation of the headquarters of Territorial Force infantry brigades will be determined as soon as the colonels commanding these brigades and brigade majors, of whom the staff will consist, are appointed and will be settled by the County Associations in consultation with the general officer commanding. These officers will receive a consolidated allowance of £150 and £100 a year respectively to cover all personal expenses and remuneration, except travelling on duty, with the addition of acting staff pay and the allowance of their rank and a free horse while present at the annual training in camp of their brigades. A grant will be paid to the Association in which the headquarters are for the provision of any office accommodation and clerical assistance necessary for the brigade staff.
